Referring to FIG. 2, a polarizing plate 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a polarizing mirror 110, a protective layer 120, a first adhesive layer 130, and a second adhesive layer 140. The polarizing plate 200 according to this embodiment is substantially the same as the polarizing plate according to the above embodiment except for the second adhesive layer 140. Hereinafter, a second adhesive layer and a method of manufacturing the polarizing plate according to this embodiment will be described.

The second adhesive layer 140 is "directly formed" on the lower surface of the first adhesive layer 130. With this structure, the polarizing plate can achieve a reduction in thickness. As used herein, the expression "directly formed" means that there is no adhesive layer and/or adhesive layer interposed between the first adhesive layer 130 and the second adhesive layer 140. The first adhesive layer 130 contains an adhesive resin having a glass transition temperature of about 50 ° C or higher. Therefore, the first adhesive layer 130 and the second adhesive layer 140 can be formed by simultaneous coating, and the circularity of the interface between the first adhesive layer 130 and the second adhesive layer 140 can be minimized, thereby further improving the transparency of the polarizing plate. Light rate. The formation by "simultaneous coating" will be described in more detail below.

The second adhesive layer 140 has a lower tensile modulus than the first adhesive layer 130, thus providing good stress relief. Therefore, the second adhesive layer 140 can maintain durability at the time of breakage or under severe conditions at the time of rework, and can facilitate adhesion of the polarizing plate 200 to the liquid crystal display panel. In addition, the second adhesive layer 140 can release stress with respect to physical changes of the polarized mirror that is contracted or expanded by the polarizer even under high temperature and/or high humidity conditions, thereby preventing cracking in the polarizer, and can be relatively The liquid crystal display panel improves wettability to improve durability. The polarizing plate 200 includes an adhesive layer composed of a first adhesive layer 130 and a second adhesive layer 140 having different tensile moduli, thereby simultaneously achieving a barrier layer effect, durability improvement, and thickness reduction of the polarizing plate.

In particular, the second adhesive layer 140 has a tensile modulus of from about 0.01 MPa to less than about 1 MPa, specifically from about 0.05 MPa to about 0.15 MPa, such as from about 0.05 MPa to about 0.1 MPa. Within this range, the second adhesive layer 140 can maintain stress release by physical contraction of the polarizer against shrinkage or expansion of the polarizer.

The peeling strength of the second adhesive layer 140 is lower than that of the first adhesive layer 130. Therefore, the second adhesive layer 140 can release stress with respect to the physical change of the polarizer by contraction or expansion of the polarizer even under high temperature and/or high humidity conditions, thereby preventing cracking in the polarizer, and can be relatively The liquid crystal display panel improves wettability to improve durability. In particular, the second adhesive layer 140 may have a glass peel strength of from about 100 gram force per inch to about 1,000 gram force per inch, more specifically from about 200 gram force per inch to about 800 gram force per inch, and more specifically For about 200 grams force per inch to about 700 grams force per inch.

The thickness of the second adhesive layer 140 is greater than that of the first adhesive layer 130, thereby providing a stress release effect when the polarizer contracts or expands, while improving the glass peeling strength. The thickness of the second adhesive layer 140 can be from about 15 microns to about 30 microns, specifically from about 15 microns to about 25 microns. Within this thickness range, the second adhesive layer 140 can improve the processability and durability of the polarizing plate.

The total thickness of the first adhesive layer 130 and the second adhesive layer 140 may range from about 20 microns to about 40 microns, specifically from about 25 microns to about 40 microns. Within this thickness range, the polarizing plate can exhibit good cuttability.
